Ingredients

Protein

  • 1
    0.5 lb Italian sausage

Vegetables

  • 1
    1 medium head of cauliflower
  • 2
    1 medium yellow onion
  • 3
    2 cloves garlic

Oils and Seasonings

  • 1
    2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2
    0.5 tsp salt
  • 3
    0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 4
    0.5 tsp dried thyme

Directions

1

Prep and Heat Pan

Remove sausage from casing if needed. In a large pan, add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat for 1 minute until shimmering.

2

Cook the Sausage

Add the sausage to the pan and break it apart using a spatula or spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally.

3

Prep Vegetables

While the sausage is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Wash the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. For beginners, dicing means cutting into small cubes, and mincing means finely chopping.

Remove Sausage

Once the sausage is browned, remove it from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

5

Cook Onion

Add the diced onion to the pan with the leftover fat. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the onions soften and become translucent, stirring occasionally.

6

Add Garlic

Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, which can become bitter quickly. A fragrant smell means you can easily smell the garlic cooking.

7

Add Cauliflower and Season

Add the cauliflower florets to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Toss everything to combine. Make sure the cauliflower is evenly coated with the spices and oil.

8

Cook Cauliflower

Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pan, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender but still slightly firm, stirring occasionally. If your pan doesn't have a lid, you can use aluminum foil.

9

Combine All Ingredients

Return the cooked sausage to the pan, mix with the cauliflower and cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

10

Rest and Serve

Remove from heat and let it stand for 2 minutes before serving. Standing for a few minutes lets the flavors meld and the dish cool slightly for easier serving. Always use caution when handling hot pans or surfaces to avoid burns.

Recipe Tips

  • For a spicier dish, use hot Italian sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • To store leftovers, let the hash cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until warmed through. Always follow proper food safety guidelines to avoid food poisoning.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute the sausage with 1 can (15 oz) of drained and rinsed chickpeas or 8 ounces of cubed firm tofu. Add these in during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • When selecting cauliflower, choose a firm head with tight florets and no brown spots. Store in the refrigerator in a plastic bag for up to 5 days.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or any other herbs you prefer. Fresh parsley or chives make a great garnish.
  • Serving suggestion: Serve the sausage and cauliflower hash as is, or top with a fried or poached egg for extra protein. It also pairs well with a side of whole wheat toast.
